Ukrainian forces made small gains in the direction of Zherebets River and Russian mil-bloggers complained about potential cuts to a chunk of the Russian army.

A Russian milblogger claimed that Ukrainian forces counterattacked near Malynivka (southeast of Slovyansk).

On the Sloviansk front, Russian troops conducted 30 assaults towards the village of Rai-Oleksandrivka and near Kryva Luka, Zakitne and Riznykivka.

Russian state media Zvezda and TASS reported that Russian soldiers rescued a 10-year-old girl named Sofia from a basement in Kostiantynivka, guarding her and bringing her food for nearly a month.

In the Lyman sector, Russian forces attempted to breach the defenses 23 times, attacking in the areas of Drobysheve, Ridkodub, and toward Chervonyi Stav, Borova, Lyman, Ozernyi, Dibrova, and Stavky.

On July 10 and the night of July 11, Ukrainian forces struck several military targets to reduce Russian offensive capabilities. The Kalmiuskyi general-purpose range near Dokuchaievsk in Donetsk Oblast was hit.
